Solve the oblique triangle where side a has length 10 cm, side c has length 12 cm, and angle beta has measure thirty degrees. Ro

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$Side\ B = 6.0$

$\alpha = 56.3$

$\theta = 93.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the three sides be represented with A, B, C

Let the angles be represented with $\alpha, \beta, \theta$

[See Attachment for Triangle]

$A = 10cm$

$C = 12cm$

$\beta = 30$

What the question is to calculate the third length (Side B) and the other 2 angles ( $\alpha\ and\ \theta$ )

Solving for Side B;

When two angles of a triangle are known, the third side is calculated as thus;

$B^2 = A^2 + C^2 - 2ABCos\beta$

Substitute: $A = 10$ , $C =12$ ; $\beta = 30$

$B^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 10 * 12 *Cos30$

$B^2 = 100 + 144 - 240*0.86602540378$

$B^2 = 100 + 144 - 207.846096907$

$B^2 = 36.153903093$

Take Square root of both sides

$\sqrt{B^2} = \sqrt{36.153903093}$

$B = \sqrt{36.153903093}$

$B = 6.0128115797$

$B = 6.0$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

Calculating Angle $\alpha$

$A^2 = B^2 + C^2 - 2BCCos\alpha$

Substitute: $A = 10$ , $C =12$ ; $B = 6$

$10^2 = 6^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 6 * 12 *Cos\alpha$

$100 = 36 + 144 - 144 *Cos\alpha$

$100 = 36 + 144 - 144 *Cos\alpha$

$100 = 180 - 144 *Cos\alpha$

Subtract 180 from both sides

$100 - 180 = 180 - 180 - 144 *Cos\alpha$

$-80 = - 144 *Cos\alpha$

Divide both sides by -144

$\frac{-80}{-144} = \frac{- 144 *Cos\alpha}{-144}$

$\frac{-80}{-144} = Cos\alpha$

$0.5555556 = Cos\alpha$

Take arccos of both sides

$Cos^{-1}(0.5555556) = Cos^{-1}(Cos\alpha)$

$Cos^{-1}(0.5555556) = \alpha$

$56.25098078 = \alpha$

$\alpha = 56.3$ <em>(Approximated)</em>

Calculating $\theta$

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180

Hence;

$\alpha + \beta + \theta = 180$

$30 + 56.3 + \theta = 180$

$86.3 + \theta = 180$

Make $\theta$ the subject of formula

$\theta = 180 - 86.3$

$\theta = 93.7$

Mr. Wong cuts a coil of wire into two pieces in the ratio of 3:4. The length of the longer piece is 32 centimeters. What is the

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.

The longer piece is 32 cm.

We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.

Let the length of the smaller piece be x.

3 is to 4 as x is to 32

3/4 = x/32

4x = 3 * 32

4x = 96

x = 24

The smaller piece is 24 cm.

24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm
